The forum discusses the potential of adult education, especially popular/liberal/non-formal adult education, to tackle urgent and integrated environmental, social, economic and political problems, taking into account its diverse, often opposing interpretations and positions in different places. The forum aims at identifying common issues of concern and strategies for developing joint activities in the future. It invites interested researchers, practitioners and policy makers cross sectors, and artists and activists to

share understanding and knowledge about the potential of adult education to address environmental, social, economic and political problems

suggest theoretical, practical and political interpretations in adult education – such as eco-social edification -, which problematise its human- and Euro-centered legacies

share experiences and good practices in combatting local and planetary sustainability problems in adult education
